Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao had Ah Rui set up a street stall in the square to showcase all the items, meanwhile he called a few girls to help out.

Ah Rui, with four girls, spread out all the pots, pans, ladles, clothes, Jewelry, Weapons, and Armor across the square.

Apart from some Magic Weapons and Jewelry, many items were just ordinary objects.

Before Ah Rui and the others finished setting up, they drew the attention of hundreds from the tribe who came to watch.

”Wow, this dress is beautiful, Ah Rui, give it to me.”

”These earrings are nice, I like them, I want these.”

”This pot is good, great for cooking, much better than our stone ones.”

”This knife is sharp, good for cutting meat.”

...

Men, women, and children alike could find something on the street stall they couldn’t put down.

In the past, the tribe would distribute the spoils of war equally, even a piece of Beast Skin would be cut into a dozen pieces to share, absolutely egalitarian.

Ah Rui’s street stall was surrounded by a crowd of more than a hundred, packed tight.

Everyone’s gaze was greedy and intense but was doused by a single sentence from Ah Rui.

”These items are not for sharing, they are for sale. If you want to buy them, you must use Crystal Coins.”

”Crystal Coins, Ah Rui, where would we get Crystal Coins, that’s something the Witch Star people have.”

”Yeah, Ah Rui, you don’t have any use for Crystal Coins, right?”

”Ah Rui, what do you mean by this?”

...

Ah Rui was also in a dilemma, but she still said according to Yang Xiao’s words:

”Brothers, sisters, uncles, and elders, these items are not the spoils of our tribal warfare but were bought by my husband Yang Xiao from outside. If you like them, you’ll have to use Crystal Coins to make the purchase.”

Right at this moment, the Tribal King and Qing Mu also came over.

”What’s happening, so lively?”

”Ah, the Great Chief has arrived, greetings Great Chief!”

”Greetings to the Great Chief!”

A circle of people all kneeled down.

The Tribal King waved his hand and said:

”Stand up, hmm, Ah Rui, what are you doing? So many nice things, oh, what’s this? A pipe, I like it.”

The Tribal King took a fancy to a pipe on the street stall, picking it up and feeling it.

Ah Rui smiled faintly,

”Grandfather, these are things that Yang Xiao bought and asked me to sell here.”

”Sell? How do you sell?”

”You need to buy it with Crystal Coins, your pipe costs 100 Crystal Coins.”

”100 Crystal Coins? Where am I supposed to get Crystal Coins for you? Grandfather takes a pipe from you, and you still want money?”

Hearing this, the surrounding tribespeople immediately chimed in:

”That’s right, you have the nerve to ask for money for something the Great Chief likes? Aren’t you his granddaughter?”

”Great Chief, just take whatever you want, she won’t ask you for money, haha.”

Little did they know, Ah Rui’s expression changed, speaking very seriously and firmly:

”Grandfather, these are things that my husband Yang Xiao bought from outside, he entrusted them to me to sell to everyone, not for profit, but they must be bought at the original price with Crystal Coins, no exceptions.”

”Bullshit! I married off such a beautiful granddaughter to him without asking for a single coin from him, and now for a pipe, he dares to ask me for money?”

The Tribal King’s mustache bristled in anger.

”Grandfather, please don’t make this hard for me, okay?”

Ah Rui’s eyes reddened, with a sob in her voice.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

The Tribal King was also taken aback, looking at Ah Rui,

”Girl, are you really asking your grandfather for money?”

”Grandfather, this is my first time doing business, you have to support me!”

Ah Rui looked at her grandfather, her gaze steadfast.

The Tribal King let out a sigh and said:

”Alright, Crystal Coins, right? The old man killed some Witch Star people last time and took some from their bags, is this them?”

The Tribal Chief pulled out from his pocket a handful of sparkling and translucent small round discs, each engraved with numbers like one hundred, fifty, twenty, ten, and so on.

Ah Rui took one look and immediately said with delight,

”Exactly, that’s it.”

Then, Ah Rui swiftly counted out one hundred Crystal Coins and handed the rest back to Grandpa, while passing him the cigarette butt and a small pack of tobacco worth 10 Crystal Coins.

”Grandpa, consider this tobacco a token of my filial respect to you.”

The Tribal Chief, holding the cigarette butt and looking at the tobacco, then at his granddaughter, chuckled miserably,

”You really are my good granddaughter, caring for no one,

A married daughter is like water spilled out of the house.

It’s over,

My granddaughter is done for.”

Having said that, he stuffed the tobacco into his pipe, flicked a small flame with his finger to light it, took a deep drag, and blew out a smoke ring before turning around and walking away.

The tribespeople around watched the Great Chief’s departing figure, all utterly astounded.

Damn it, do we really need Crystal Coins to buy stuff? Even the Great Chief has to use Crystal Coins to purchase.

Everyone looked at the array of items on the ground stall, swallowing hard, no longer daring to ask Ah Rui for freebies.

Just then, Ah Bao arrived with a group of people, followed by their wives and children—these were the people from Ah Bao’s tribe.

Ah Bao approached the stall, picked up a Longsword with a +8 Strength Attribute, and laughed heartily,

”Good, I like this sword. Plus eight Strength, I’ve finally got it. Miss Ah Rui, how much?”

”This sword with +8 Strength requires 5,000 Crystal Coins.”

”Okay, no problem, here are my five thousand Crystal Coins.”

Ah Bao stylishly pulled out five crystal-clear round discs, each marked with a thousand, and handed them to Ah Rui.

Ah Rui took them, very pleased.

Ah Bao turned to a woman by his side and said,

”Wildflower, what do you think of that skirt? Do you like it?”

His wife Wildflower had long been staring at the skirt, daydreaming,

”Like it, like it, of course, I like it.”

”If you like it, buy it. We’re rich, whatever you fancy, we’ll buy and take home.”

Wildflower immediately picked up a skirt, a necklace, earrings, and a cooking pot from the ground stall.

”Daddy, I want that doll, and that one too,” said Wildflower’s son.

Ah Bao waved his hand magnanimously,

”Buy.”

The same scene played out among the dozens of brothers Ah Bao had brought along; they all took out handfuls of Crystal Coins from their bags to purchase things they liked.

The people from the Tribal Chief’s tribe, seeing the items they liked being bought by others, became anxious.

”Ah Bao, where did you guys get the Crystal Coins?”

”You all don’t know yet? Yang Xiao is recruiting tribals to work in his newly opened mining base, a thousand Crystal Coins a day, settle accounts every thirty days, we’ve all already signed up.”

”Ah, there’s such a thing? How come I haven’t heard of it?”

”He’s right there with the Great Chief now, lots of brothers are lining up to sign up. Those who sign up can pay ten thousand Crystal Coins in advance as a labor fee. I just signed up, and there, I advanced ten thousand Crystal Coins.”

”Really? But we don’t know if we should go. This matter, the Great Chief has not mentioned it.”

A woman next to them complained:

”Others can go, are you some kind of delicate royalty? Why can’t you go? Hurry up and sign up, or else those skirts will be sold out.”

Another child also shouted:

”Dad, I want to buy that kite and a bubble gun.”

The man hesitated for a moment, watching more and more people join the shopping ranks, and finally clenched his teeth, saying,

”Alright, I’ll go sign up.”

...

The Tribal Chief, puffing on his cigarette and blowing smoke rings, cursed inwardly,

”Damn it, that brat Yang Xiao, forcing me to put on such a show. Where can I, the proud Tribal Chief, put my face? It’s so embarrassing.

But, the brat’s trick seems pretty clever. Sigh, I’m old, I’m old. This world, the future will definitely belong to the young ones,

Hmm, Ah Rui better quickly have a chubby baby, then I can just stay in the tribe and help her take care of the kid.”
